Review of TAVR Progress

• Adverse TAVR Events: Terms such as hemorrhagic stroke are not defined in the data dictionary. However, adverse events are dynamically updated, by pointing at a source document within the registry. We may need to refer to Traci Connelly for further questions on this point.
• Review of Mapping: Myocardial Infarction has two entries, one that is biomarker positive, the other refers to a more general diagnosis. Should these be clarified?
• Laceration with Tamponade: Has a very broad definition that may include other clinical situations outside of TAVR.
• Is there an LAAO data element listing available? Yes, it is on-line and will be provided.
• TAVR Use Case: Reviewed by clinicians and refined for accuracy.
• Review of History Section: Diabetes is more granular in TVT and SNOMED terms were available for the various manifestations.
• The ACC staff may need to take over development for codes, e.g. Hostile Chest, that do not exist. This may become an 'ACC Only' code. The ACC will develop such an item and submit to SNOMED for these items. This has previously been done for EPRC and CRC, with a 3-4 month turnaround.
